Performing Lab
Cholesterol and HDL Cholesterol with Ratio
Clinical Use
Order TestUse
This test measures the ratio of total cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol—an indicator of cardiovascular risk. Higher ratios may suggest insufficient HDL relative to total cholesterol, potentially increasing risk of atherosclerotic disease. The test serves as a routine lipid profile component for cardiovascular risk assessment.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
Calculated values depend on accurate measurement of total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol; triglyceride levels and extreme lipemic samples can affect reliability.
